Despite their best efforts to help the Russians and their dreams of global fascism, another failure for MAGA, Musk and Putin, as Serbs not only in Serbia, but its global diaspera line up around the world to vote out Russian-backed Vucic regime on favor of the more pro-EU "Student-List"
Aside from promoting the Russian-backed regime, the primary goal of the horde of America's MAGA influencers now pouring into Serbia is to convince their American audiences that western Europe is a wasteland wherein churches have all been converted to mosques, bacon is illegal and rape gangs roam the streets.
All part of dividing Europe from the US.
Thanks Grok
Islamic extremism's core traits—theocratic hierarchy, strict traditional gender/sexual norms, rejection of secular democracy and liberal equality—align more with Western right-wing traditionalism and authoritarianism than left-wing secular egalitarianism or progressive social policies. Shared anti-Western rhetoric enables some left alliances, but the ideology is fundamentally reactionary.
ONP running third in QLD and Vic, likely to win no seats if running third if replicated across the electorate this Nov.
When shit gets real Australians say, yeah nah.

Small sample (about 300), but Newspoll finds a third of those who favour a Coalition majority government in Victoria would prefer Labor to a Coalition government that included One Nation

To all those One Nation and Coalition types who have condemned Labor for its government deficits, the most recent four years are Labor’s (small surpluses and deficits as a proportion of GDP) while the deep red ones are Coalition deficits.

Lula didn’t just take on Bolsonaro. He took on the technofeudalists, election interference by Meta, U.S. diplomats, and won. Impressive and inspiring. LFG.

To understand how Lula supporters are feeling right now, imagine Trump went to jail for his Jan 6 insurrection and then Biden/Harris defeated Don Jr in 2024.
The right are so infantile.
Their reaction to legitimate losses in a democracy is cringe and pathetic.
Primitive ideology, primitive of mind.

⭕️ President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has overtaken Flávio Bolsonaro in Brazil's runoff count. With 59.77% of polling stations reporting, Lula has 50.52% of valid votes to Bolsonaro's 49.48%, a lead of about 766,000 votes, according to Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). Stations vary in size, so that share is not the same as the share of votes counted.

Elon Musk spreads disinformation about Ukraine after being exposed for sabotaging military operations by the WSJ.
The US tax funded billionaire, Trump's largest donor, (backed by Israel and Russia); tied to the deaths of thousands of children due to USAid cuts, blames Ukraine for not surrendering.
